A UK degree. The Graduate Route — 2 years to live and work after you finish. The whole future that opens with it. But ~1 in 4 Nigerian student visas are refused — almost always on the money, not the merit. We get the file right the first time.
The real reason
You earned the offer. Then a maintenance-balance rule — written for exactness, not fairness — quietly sinks strong Nigerian students every cycle. The merit was never the problem. The file was.
The 28-day rule. The exact balance must sit untouched for 28 consecutive days — a dip on day 19 fails you.
Source of funds. Sudden large deposits without a paper trail read as borrowed money.
A thin statement of purpose. A vague 'I want to study in the UK' reads as not a genuine student.
The visa fee and IHS are non-refundable — a maintenance slip can cost you the place, the deposit and the year. Almost every one of these refusals was preventable.
What SwiftPass does
We calculate your exact maintenance figure from your CAS and city, structure the 28-day balance with a clean source of funds, and prepare bank statements the way UKVI needs to see them — the single thing that turns a refusal into an approval.
A statement of purpose that reads like a real plan — course, career, return — not a recycled template.
We match your CAS line-by-line, handle ATAS where your course needs it, and confirm your English route (IELTS/MOI).
We calculate your IHS exactly and guide your Lagos/Abuja biometrics appointment — nothing left to guess.
Refused before? We read the letter, fix the maintenance or credibility gap, and rebuild for a clean reapplication.
The UKVI fee (£524) and IHS are paid to the UK government. SwiftPass service fees are separate, from $199.

How it works
Maintenance is where most Nigerian students get refused. We structure your funds to the exact figure, held the exact 28 consecutive days — bank-stamped, sourced, no surprises.
CAS matched line-by-line, IHS calculated, ATAS handled where needed, and a genuine-student statement that reads like a real plan — not a template.
We guide your Lagos/Abuja visa-centre appointment and confirm what to bring, then track UKVI until your visa — usually about 3 weeks.
Flat fees. The service guarantee is included — if we make a review error, your service fee is refunded in full.

Priority · zero effort
The £524 UKVI fee and the IHS (£1,035/year) are paid separately to the UK government — we never mark them up.
About 1 in 4 (~24%). The number one reason is the financial-maintenance rule — the exact required balance must sit in your (or your sponsor's) account for 28 consecutive days, bank-stamped, with the closing date within 31 days of applying. Small mistakes here sink strong students. SwiftPass structures the funds correctly before you submit.
Tuition for your first year plus 9 months of living costs (a set monthly figure for London vs outside London), held for 28 consecutive days. We calculate your exact figure based on your CAS and city, and structure the statements so UKVI accepts them first time.
After you finish your UK degree, the Graduate Route lets you stay and work (or look for work) for 2 years — 3 for a PhD — with no sponsor needed. It's the reason a UK degree is one of the strongest study-to-work pathways for Nigerians.
ATAS is required for certain postgraduate STEM courses — your CAS will say. For English, most universities accept IELTS for UKVI, or a Medium-of-Instruction (MOI) letter if you studied in English. SwiftPass tells you exactly what your course needs and handles it.
The UKVI student visa fee is £524, plus the Immigration Health Surcharge (£1,035 per year of study), paid to the UK government. Visa-centre service fees also apply. SwiftPass service fees are separate, from $199 flat.
The degree, the Graduate Route, the future on the other side of it — they all hinge on getting the maintenance and the statement right. We do exactly that. Flat $199 · 94% first-submission approval.
